5.4Adopt Resolution Approving a MOU Between County of Lake and Lake County Resource Conservation District For Management of Goat’s Rue in Lake County for FY 2021-2023 in the Amount of $21,041.12
Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
Based on current staffing levels and workload we do not have the resources to oversee and manage the Goat's Rue eradication project. Therefore we need this MOU with the Lake County Conservation District to maintain eradication efforts. This noxious weed is found in the Scotts Creek Watershed and is one of two known locations in the state.
California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) has identified Goats rue as an "A" rated weed. An "A" rating is a pest of known economic or environmental detriment and is either not known to be established in California or it is present in a limited distribution that allows for the possibility of eradication or successful containment. This is considered a noxious weed and only found here and with your Board's approval, this revenue will be used to fund portions of the Lake County Resource Conservation District Weed Control Program.
Should the board approve this resolution, please have the chair sign and return one original copy of the MOU, one copy of the board resolution and return them to the Department of Agriculture for processing. A signed complete copy will be returned for your records.

5.5(Sitting as the Lake County Air Quality Management District Board of Directors) Authorize the APCO to sign and submit an application for Carl Moyer Program Year 23 funding and sign all other program documents.
Report
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
The Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program (CMP) was established in 1998 as a grant program to fund the incremental cost of cleaner-than-required heavy-duty engines. The program now includes the reduction of particulate matter (PM) emissions and reduction of reactive organic gases (ROG), and originally targeted the reduction of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions. The grant funding originates from fees on tire sales, car sales, and smog check fees.
The CMP has historically been, and continues to be, an overly paper heavy and legalistic process to implement and administer. Ongoing obligations to monitor the funding contracts could become a significant resource demand. Due to the extensive auditing and reporting requirements imposed by the ARB, District staff is reviewing projects as a pre-approval screening prior to requesting funds from the State. With changes in the program requirements several years ago, we are able to fund school bus projects and a few other project categories have been simplified and have potential for some projects to move forward that had previously been deemed not cost effective, as such we may request project funds earlier to minimize delays in project approvals.
Districts, such as the LCAQMD, with a population less than 1% of the state total population are eligible for a Matching Fund Waiver and program funding of up to $200,000. The present program guidelines state in part that the District submit a minute order or resolution authorizing the APCO to implement the program. The guidelines remain largely unchanged from the prior two years.
Presently the program remains complicated and has specific statewide guidelines. The ARB continues to require a contract for the individual grants and typically 5 to 7 years of follow up reporting. The guidelines have made qualifying for some projects difficult for both proponent and the District except school buses and a few other project categories.
The LCAQMD has received Sixteen previous grant awards. We currently have partial Year 21 and 22 funds. Year 21 and part of Year 22 funds are anticipated to be used for a school bus project. If we fail to timely apply for the grant funds or do not timely expend funds (within 2 years of disbursement and an additional 2 years to liquidate), the funds allocated to Lake County must be returned to the State and will be reallocated to other areas of the state.
Recommended Action
That the Board of Directors authorize the APCO to sign and submit the application for Year 23 funding and program documents.

5.6(Sitting as the Lake County Air Quality Management District Board of Directors) Appoint Lowell Grant as the Engineer/Scientist Member to the LCAQMD Hearing Board pursuant to Health and Safety Code.
Report
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
Pursuant to Health and Safety Code, the Lake County Air Quality Management District (LCAQMD) is required to maintain a Hearing Board consisting of two public members, a medical representative, a lawyer, and an engineer/scientist.
Roger Bakke who has served as the Engineer/Scientist Member on the LCAQMD Hearing Board for 19 years has passed away resulting in a vacancy on the Hearing Board.
Due to the vacancy, it was necessary to advertise for an Engineer/Scientist Member. An announcement was published in the local newspaper and on a local online news website and no applications were received. A second announcement was published and one application from Lowell Grant was received and is attached.
Mr. Grant has previously served as an Alternate Public Member on the LCAQMD Hearing Board and showed enthusiasm in attending meetings. Additionally, Mr. Grant previously worked at the LCAQMD and therefore has a good knowledge and understanding of the issues that come before the Hearing Board. Mr. Grant has shown a strong interest in the community and environmental matters and is a long term residence of the County.
Staff believes the LCAQMD is fortunate to have Members with such strong credentials, history, and unique understanding of our community and environmental matters and are willing to serve on the LCAQMD Hearing Board.
As such, we recommend appointing Lowell Grant as the Engineer/Scientist Member to the LCAQMD Hearing Board.

Recommended Action
That the Board of Directors appoint Lowell Grant as the Engineer/Scientist Member to the LCAQMD Hearing Board for a three year term.

5.17Approve the Continuation of an Emergency Declaration for Drought Conditions
Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
Pursuant to Chapter 6, Article 1 of the Lake County Code empowers the Director of Emergency Services to proclaim the existence or threatened existence of a local emergency when Lake County is affected by, or likely to be affected by a public calamity and the Board of Supervisors is not in session. During the existence of this local emergency, the powers, functions and duties of the Director of Emergency Services and the emergency organization of the County shall be those prescribed by state law, and by ordinance and resolutions of this County, approved by the Board of Supervisors, and by the Lake Operational Area Emergency Operations Plan, as approved by the Board of Supervisors.
On April 21, 2021, the Governor of the State of California proclaimed a State of Emergency for the Counties of Sonoma and Mendocino due to extremely low reservoir levels and drought conditions. Inasmuch, Lake County water table levels are at significantly to critically low levels and are being continuously monitored.
Based upon low water levels, the County may have to consider measures to address the water shortages. These measures may include taking steps to conserve water by practicing water conservation efforts, including, but not limited to repairing leaking plumbing, limiting non-essential watering, limiting car washing, filling bathtubs halfway or less, using high-efficient appliances, reducing shower times, only washing full loads of laundry, turning off water when brushing teeth or shaving, planting drought resistant landscaping and implementing other practices that reduce water consumption. Short or long-term solutions are costly; however, the County may be eligible for State or Federal assistance should the need arise to address drought issues if conditions persist.
Therefore, the declaration of an emergency will allow the County to qualify for funding that has been specifically set aside for drought relief purposes. Programs within the State focus on ground water management, conservation and recapture/recycle initiatives.
By declaring a local emergency, the County is taking a pro-active approach to address drought related disaster issues. In addition, with the adoption of a proclamation declaring a state of local emergency, State law requires the Board of Supervisors to review the status of the emergency at least once every 30 days.
Recommended Action
Approve the Continuation of a Proclamation of Emergency Declaration for Drought Conditions.

Executive Summary
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
California Health and Safety Code section 101040 authorizes the local health officer to take any preventive measures that may be necessary to protect and preserve public health from any public hazard during an emergency. The Health Officer of Lake County finds that the Cache Fire that started in the City of Clearlake on August 18, 2021 meets the criteria for a Public Health Proclamation. The fire has created an imminent threat to public health in the form of contaminated debris from hazardous waste and materials and structural debris resulting from the destruction of structures and vehicles, especially given the proximity to Cache Creek and the high risk of contamination of waterways that feed Clear Lake and area drinking water supplies. The hazardous waste debris poses a substantial present or potential hazard to human health and the environment unless its removal and disposal is performed in a manner that will protect the public health and safety.

Chabot-Las Positas Community College District will design and conduct trainings that fulfill the requirements for Title IV-E federally funded training programs. The Title IV-E training shall be facilitated by the Contractor, and is available to eligible resource families, more commonly referred to as foster parents and families, upon request by Social Services. Chabot-Las Positas does not conduct training, however, many of the local trainings are provided through their subcontract with Redwood Community Services. This training is required to abide by state legislation under the Welfare Institution Code's Division 9, Part 4, Chapter 5, Article 2, Sections 16519.5 - 16519.7, which detail the responsibility of Child Welfare Services to ensure the increased expectations and knowledge required of resource families, staff, and community partners are satisfactory under the Resource Family Approval Program. The services provided by Chabot-Las Positas under this agreement help Social Services utilize essential Federal funding.
In May of 2021, Social Services issued an RFP for these services and Chabot-Las Positas was the only entity to submit a proposal. Furthermore, they are one of only a few colleges in the State that are capable of fulfilling this Contract.
Recommended Action

Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
(a) The Konocti Projects' specific purpose is to promote and sponsor the scientific exploration and study of the geology, archeology and other natural and cultural aspects of Mt. Konocti and surrounding areas of Lake County, for the benefit of the public. The project would like to resume efforts in the Summit Vents to either prove or disprove the existence of a large cavern and lake inside the mountain. If the science and research is right, and our local Indian legends are true, then Lake County will have uncovered one of the wonders of the world.
(b) The project would like to gain permission to further excavate and explore the Summit Vents, and maybe to put up a perimeter fence for public safety.
* Allow USGS to continue research.
* Allow further excavation and exploration of the summit vents.

Executive Summary
Your Board previously directed the Cannabis Tax Ad Hoc Committee (Committee) to meet and review the Cannabis Tax Usage & Expenditure Policies & Procedures (Policy). The committee has reviewed the current funding allocations and has set forth the following recommendations in the form of a revised Cannabis Tax Policy that is attached for your consideration. The substantive funding changes are highlighted below:
1) Board of Supervisors Discretionary Fund - The prior allocation of 7.5% would be adjusted to a $500,000 fixed allocation. The $500,000 allocation would be split evenly across the 5 districts. This resulting $100,000 would be available to each Supervisor to spend wherever the greatest need exists within their district. The spending does not need to meet the criteria defined in any of the discussed categories.
An additional $500,000 would be allocated in in FY 2021-2022, as these funds were not disbursed in the prior year.
2) Cannabis Revenue Stabilization Fund - The prior allocation of 15%, up to a maximum of $2 million, has been adjusted to reflect the allocation that would be necessary to achieve a balance equal to at least one year of expected ongoing expense. This provides for smoothing of potential revenue shortfalls and allows the aforementioned services to be fully funded without the need for cuts to services. These funds will also be available to satisfy remaining obligations from CannGrants awarded in the prior fiscal year that have not yet been completed.
Allocations to the Stabilization Fund would cease so long as a balance, at a minimum, approximating ongoing expenses is achieved.
3) Capital Improvement & Deferred Maintenance Fund - As per your Board's direction during recommended budget hearings, this new category would be created with an allocation of $1,000,000. Due to past funding shortfalls, there are many county facilities that are in need of necessary repairs and improvements. The $1,000,000 allocation would allow these deferred actions to be addressed.
4) Road Map Task Force - This provides funding for the Board designated task force to focus on community revitalization efforts in this fiscal year's designated target area. There is $1,000,000 allocated to this category.
There are also procedural changes recommended by the Committee to streamline the implementation of this policy. Generally, the Committee will serve as the primary mechanism to review and approve requests within Categories #1 - #4 of this policy, while the Road Map Task Force will fulfill this role for category #10.
Requests pursuant to Category #5, CannGrants, will follow the same process of being vetted by the Committee, however, they ultimately will return to the Board for final approval as these funds have not already been designated by the Board to be used for a particular purpose.
The revised policies and procedures are attached for your Board's review.
Recommended Action
Approve in concept recommended amendment to the Cannabis Tax Usage & Expenditure Policy.

Staff memo
Executive Summary
We are pleased to present, for your Board's consideration, the Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-22 Final Recommended Budget. This memorandum is intended to serve as an update to our June 9, 2021 memorandum introducing the FY 2021-22 Recommended Budget. For your reference, that memorandum is also attached to your agenda packet as much of it is still applicable.
Fund balance carry-over increased by just over $7 million from FY 2020-21 to FY 2021-22 mainly due to the County's high vacancy rate and specific revenues that came in higher than anticipated. As we further stabilize County finances, staff recommends using a portion of it to increase your General Fund General Reserve to a total of $12.5 million, which equates to 25% or 3 months of last fiscal year's General Fund (GF) actual expenditures.
Property tax: The increase in property taxes received between FY 2019-20 and FY 2020-21 was $1,180,437.51, which equated to a 4.74% increase.
Sales Tax: Bradley-Burns (1%) Sales tax revenues received in FY 2020-21 equaled $4,414,350.19 which was an increase of $1,132,343.86 over FY 2019-20. Prop 172 sales tax revenues for FY 2020-21 equaled $3,417,484.37 which was an increase of $182,079.29 compared to FY 19/20.
Transient Occupancy Tax: Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenues totaled $1,098,227.28 in FY 2020-21 which was an increase of $247,909.76 year over year.
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) also known as State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF): The County received half of the $12,506,226 SLFRF funds in May 2021 and the second half payment is expected to be received in May 2022. The SLFRF funds are being requested to be moved from BU 1920 to BU 1120 and will be tracked with project codes. As your Board is aware, your ad hoc committee is drafting a plan for use of these funds, for the approval of the full board in the coming weeks.
Requested Positions additions since recommended budget:
1 Temporary Property Tax Coordinator I/II/III (funded through 9/17/2021) - BU 1121
1 Public Works Service Technician - BU 1903
1 Business Software Analyst - BU 2110

1 Code Enforcement Officer (RMTF) - BU 2603
1 Staff Services Analyst I/II - BU 4012
1 Water Resources Field Maintenance Technician - BU 8107
The cost of new General Fund positions included in the Final Recommended budget are either absorbed within the department's net county cost or funded by cannabis tax.
In anticipation of your Board's completion of implementation of the CPS-HR Classification and Compensation (CC) Study of October 2019 payroll cost adjustments will be budgeted at mid-year. Staff plans for all labor agreements and resolutions to be brought forward for the consideration and approval of your Board on September 21, 2021.
Fiscal Impact
Your approval of this Recommended Final Budget will enable the County to meet its statutory obligations and continue operations for FY 2021-22.
Recommended Action
1) Adopt the Resolution Adopting the Final Recommended Budget for Fiscal Year 2021-22 as detailed in the attached, incorporating any changes desired by your Board following budget hearings.
2) Adopt the Resolution Establishing New Classifications, the Effective Date Thereof, and Amending the Position Allocation Chart for Fiscal Year 2021-22 to Conform to the Adopted Budget.

Code Enforcement conducted a Summary Abatement at the property 6814 Hammond Ave., Nice, CA 95464.
Rule:
Lake County Code Sec. 13-9.1: The Enforcement Official determined that an immediate threat or danger exists to the health, safety, or welfare of the occupants of a particular property or to members of the public, may order a summary abatement of a public nuisance. Upon making a finding, concurrence by one (1) member of the Board of Supervisors and County Counsel, shall be sought.
Analysis
On May 6th, 2021, I conducted a site investigation. During the investigation, it was determined that a substantial amount of garbage and rubbish was open and exposed to the elements, and human waste existed on the property. It was determined that these conditions created an immediate threat and danger to the health, safety, or welfare of the occupants of a particular property or to members of the public. I obtained the concurrence by Supervisor Eddie Crandell and County Counsel.
Conclusion:
On May 10th, 2021, the 48-hour Summary Abatement was executed with the assistance of a contracted company. Only those conditions which posed an imminent danger to human life, or which were unsafe, or which were detrimental to the public health or safety were abated.
Cost of abatement: $3,800
Administrative cost: 24 hrs x $82.96 = $1,991.04
Total: $5,791.04
Recommended Action
Staff recommends the Board of Supervisors approves the total costs of, $5,791.04, be recorded as a lien against the property located at 6814 Hammond Ave., Nice, CA 95464; APN #031-071-46.

Staff memo
Executive Summary
Attached here for your Board's review and consideration is a draft of an ordinance which would amend Article VII of Chapter 13 of the Lake County Code relating to Administrative Fines and Penalties.
Your Board had requested further changes/additions/inclusions to be made to Article VII.
I have endeavored to make those adjustments here to the extent legally advisable and did make some further clarifying adjustments as well to avoid a disjointed presentation of this Article.
I am hopeful the track changes will present clearly in the draft document, but in the event that is not the case, a fully formatted version is included here with the substantive changes highlighted in yellow for your convenience. Additionally, the further changes to the ordinance are delineated as follows:
1. Definitions -
- Section 13-47 (f) removed the words "other than personal use" from the first line of the definition of "cannabis operations"
- Section 13-47(g) adjusted the definition of a continuing violation to show it is a violation that persists from day to day.
- Section 13-47(k) is added to include "High Severity Violation"
- Section 13-47(l) replaces what would be a definition of a hearing officer with the Initial Review of Citation process conducted by a County department. The hearing officer references were added but never thoroughly described to make them useable. Those references and a more thorough procedural description can easily be added in at your
Board's direction.
Section 13-47(p) added a definition for "Population Centers".
- Section 13-47(q)(iii) Consultant is added.
2. Section 13-48.3c adds and clarifies how the Board may determine to further clarify the imposition of penalties for particular violations through the adoption of a resolution.
3. Section 13-49 and 13-50 now distinguish respectively between those violations relating to cannabis operations where permits are not maintained, activities exceed the scope of an existing permit, or operations began after a permit was applied for but before such permit was issued and those violations deemed to be of high severity. High severity violations include situations where cannabis operations are occurring without any attempt to obtain a County permit and specifically identifies community growth boundaries and population centers. It further identifies that other circumstances may be deemed by your Board to constitute high severity violations in other provisions of the Lake County Code, including the facilitation of illegal cannabis operations.
Section 13-49 allows for per day violations and abatement for first and second violations within a twenty-four month period (rather than twelve-month period). A third violation will result in a significant per day fine and will render all Responsible Persons associated with the premises subject to the violation(s) to be ineligible for a County permit for cannabis operations for a period of not less than ten years.
Section 13-50 now provides for increased per plant penalties and results in any Responsible Persons determined to have violated that section to be permanently ineligible for a County permit for cannabis operations.
4. The standard administrative appeal procedure of Section 13-58 now clarifies that it is inapplicable to High Severity Violations. High Severity Violations would now be subject to an expedited hearing process as described in Section 13-59. Times for corrective action by a Responsible Person, time to appeal, and time for the appeal to be heard have all been shortened in response to the type of violation involved.
This draft is presented on this date to receive any further direction as to any additions, and/or changes to be made.
Thank you.

Executive Summary
As all members of our Board are aware, about a third of eligible Lake County residents (age 12+) have yet to receive one dose of a COVID-19 Vaccine. Unvaccinated Lake County residents were seven times more likely to contract COVID-19 in the period from August 1-15 than their vaccinated counterparts. The vast majority of hospitalized individuals during the recent surge in cases that seriously strained the capacity of our local emergency rooms were likewise unvaccinated.
I believe for some community members, seeing the face of a local leader they know and trust in a video promoting vaccination may make a difference. Over the past few weeks, I introduced this concept to Administrative Office staff, and they have partnered to create a video.
With support from Admin, each member of our Board and numerous local government and community leaders were provided the attached script, and invited to meet with County videographer, Sam Euston, to record this affirmation of the importance of people getting vaccinated in Lake County. We greatly appreciate Angela Cuellar-Marroquin and Luisa Acosta's efforts to make this important information accessible in both Spanish and English.
The video content will premier during our meeting, and I am asking that our Board receive any public comment and approve it for distribution via the County's website, social media channels and any other available media outlets.
With COVID-19 already affecting Lake County's schools, and potential complications of cold and flu season approaching, we need to encourage taking every available precaution. That includes vaccination for everyone for whom it is medically appropriate. The time is now, and we sincerely hope this video can make a positive difference in Lake County.
Recommended Action
Approve video content encouraging vaccination in Lake County for distribution via the County's website and social media channels.

Executive Summary
HR Director Pam Samac and I would first like to express our gratitude to Supervisor Scott and Supervisor Crandell who served on an ad hoc committee of your Board to develop the attached draft. In addition, we are very grateful to all of the department heads for their valuable input and for their participation in the pilot testing aspects of this draft over the past year.
(a) We submit for your Board's consideration a new policy for Evaluation of the Performance of the County Administrative Officer (CAO), Board Appointed Department Heads and the Public Health Officer, hereinafter referred to as "appointees".
Under the proposed policy, annual evaluations will be calendared for all appointees during your Board's closed session, in four half day sessions, to align with the start of the recommended budget process. Prior to the annual evaluations, appointees will complete Self-Evaluation forms.
In an effort to support new appointees in their positions for less than one year, evaluations will be calendared quarterly in closed session during the first year of employment. Additional evaluations for appointees can also be calendared for closed session as needed.
Discussion will be used to identify and agree upon strategic priorities, leading to completion of the Goals Worksheet, by the appointee and the CAO, following the evaluation.
Historically, evaluations, and corresponding merit or longevity steps, have been tied to each appointee's salary anniversary date and the Chair has approved Report of Appointment (ROA) forms following the annual evaluation when applicable. In light of the proposed changes, the policy provides authority to the County Administrative Officer or the Chair to approve ROA forms for merit or longevity steps as they come due.
(b) Although the start of the recommended budget process for the current Fiscal Year has passed, we further recommend your Board take action to add the following special meeting dates to your annual calendar for 2021, for appointee evaluations:
September 30, 2021 1 PM Board of Supervisors Chambers
October 7, 2021 1 PM Board of Supervisors Chambers
October 21, 2021 1 PM Board of Supervisors Chambers
November 4, 2021 1 PM Board of Supervisors Chambers
For your 2022 annual calendar, staff will populate recommended dates for the next round of evaluations in February/March for your preapproval at that time, and will continue doing so for the years thereafter.
Recommended Action
(a) Approve amendment to Rule 1100 adding section 1102.3 Policy for Evaluation of The Performance of Board the County Administrative Officer, Board Appointed Department Heads, and the Public Health Officer
(b) Approve additional dates to your 2021 annual meeting calendar, at 1:00 p.m on September 30, 2021, October 7, 2021, October 21, 2021 and November 4, 2021

Executive Summary
Attached, for your approval, is the Agreement between the County of Lake and Ford Street Project for adult Substance Use Disorder Residential Treatment and Detoxification Services. Ford Street Project has been providing recovery-based services since 1974. In addition, Ford Street provides withdrawal management and residential treatment services to people experiencing a substance use disorder.
Lake County Behavioral Health Services currently has clients placed at this facility. Changes in placement could cause the exacerbation of the client's symptoms, which may result in the need for the client to be reassessed, resulting in the client being placed in a more restrictive setting. Disruption of care during the middle of a treatment episode or a change in treatment settings is not conducive to providing a secure and stable recovery-based environment. Therefore, LCBHS requests to waive the formal bidding process, pursuant to Lake County Code Section 38.2, as it is not in the public interest due to the unique nature of goods or services.
Recommended Action
Consideration of (a) Waiving the formal bidding process, pursuant to Lake County Code Section 38.2, as it is not in the public interest due to the unique nature of goods or services; and (b) Approval of the Agreement between the County of Lake and Ford Street Project for adult Substance Use Disorder Residential Treatment Services including Medication Assisted Treatment and Detoxification Services for Fiscal Year 2021-22 for a contract maximum of $199,250.00 and authorize the Board Chair to sign the Agreement.

Disruption of care during the middle of a treatment episode or a change in treatment settings is not conducive to providing a secure and stable recovery-based environment. Therefore, LCBHS requests to waive the formal bidding process, pursuant to Lake County Code Section 38.2, as it is not in the public interest due to the unique nature of goods or services.

Executive Summary
Attached, for your approval, is an Agreement between the County of Lake and Sutter Center for Psychiatry for Acute Inpatient Psychiatric Hospital Services and Professional Services associated with Acute Inpatient Psychiatric Hospitalization for Fiscal Year 2021-22 for services rendered in 2020-21. Sutter Center for Psychiatry provides emergency inpatient psychiatric services to clients referred to Lake County Behavioral Health Services (LCBHS) who require them. These services are available in a 24-hour care, non-hospital setting to referred adults in order to focus on a program of prompt intervention, assessment, and stabilization of the individual's psychiatric crisis/episode either voluntarily or involuntarily.
In FY 2020-21, LCBHS encountered budgetary challenges which prevented payment being issued to some contractors. These issues were resolved through a Resolution authorizing a budget transfer, approved by the Board of Supervisors in June 2020. Unfortunately, our projection for utilization of services provided by Sutter Center for Psychiatry did not reflect the true utilization. This contract is needed to issue payment to Sutter Center for Psychiatry for this deficit, in the amount of $39,160.00.
Recommended Action
Approve the agreement between the County of Lake and Sutter Center for Psychiatry for Fiscal Year 2021-22 for 2020-21 services in the amount of $39,160.00 and authorize the Board Chair to sign this Agreement.
